You can't listen to London Calling by The Clash in your car, if you live in London. I remember that news story from a few years ago.

I wish they enforced that now and then. I'd love some free archery.

I forget if it's Kentucky or Tennessee, when you drive up to a rural intersection, stop, get out of your car, fire your shotgun twice in the air, and then proceed.

Phoenix used to lave a law and I don't know if they still do that required shop owners feed and water customers' horses. That might have been repealed in the early '2000s after some rancher made a downtown area walmart do it on a dare from some local radio shock jocks. :lol:

the town I used to live in it was illegal to walk down the street with a ice cream cone in your back pocket.

it was also against the law to fish out of a boat that was being towed.

In Louisiana you cant drive in the left lane on a one-way street. It makes no freaking sense to build one ways-streets with more than one lane when only one lane is allowed to be used. says to self~ & people think I'm retorted.
